Antioxidants

The body is exposed to damaging free radicals through pollution, poor diets, medicines, and they are released when certain components are broken down by the body. Free radicals oxidize in the body and lead to premature aging and vulnerability to disease, while antioxidants can protect the body from them. These anti-inflammatory agents are consumed through healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, but there are antioxidant supplements, like Vitamins C and E, selenium, lycopene, and astaxanthin.
